Former first lady Melania Trump announced on Thursday that she will begin selling NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, becoming the latest personality to embrace the hot digital collectible trend.
"I am proud to announce my new NFT endeavor, which embodies my passion for the arts, and will support my ongoing commitment to children through my Be Best initiative," she said in a Thursday statement shared on social media.
The former first lady confirmed in the statement that she is starting a platform that will "release NFTs in regular intervals."
An NFT is a piece of data verifying that you have ownership of a digital item, such as a piece of artwork. The items can also include a video clip, a tweet and more.
NFTs are recorded using blockchain technology. A blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that tracks transactions of items and assets.(snip)
Trump's first NFT will be available for purchase until Dec. 31. The NFT, titled "Melania's Vision," is "a breathtaking watercolor art" that "embodies Mrs. Trump's cobalt blue eyes," according to the Thursday statement.
It will be sold for one SOL, a cryptocurrency that runs on the Solana blockchain, or approximately $180. It will also include an audio recording, a "message of hope" from Trump.

watercolor? It’s bytes of code.
If I save the pic can I sell it on eBay as a print for 1/10 the original price?
I was just going to say - simpson96 just spent $90 on an FR post...
NFT lets the creator confirm who the owner is.
Since digital media lacks a singular physical manifestation of “this” self- accounting for the owner thereof, NFTs were invented to account for who owns “this” vs a copy.
There have been times I tried hunting down the original of a popular much-copied and spoofed/altered image, with no success. NFTs let the owner confirm who has the “original”, and give the owner ability to sell it as a unique instance.
Now it’s “free” for Freepers... :)
“NFT”...I saw this term for the first time in my life watching South Park just last night. Now I’m seeing it again just a few hours later....weird.
Stunning
so that’s a bootleg copy then...
